DWIGHT'S BISTRO – French
Dwight's Bistro occupies a small dining room on Penman Road in Jacksonville Beach, open only Tuesday through Saturday evenings, reservations strongly encouraged. The French-leaning menu opens with pan-cooked foie gras, escargot and a chef's cheese plate, moves through handmade pastas like fettuccine carbonara and pistachio ravioli, and lands on entrees built around filet mignon with blue-cheese butter, veal piccata and pan-seared sea scallops. Key lime cheesecake and a chocolate mousse cake close things out. Diners describe the food as consistently well executed and the room as intimate, the kind of place reserved for an occasion rather than a quick bite.
